We frequented Jamba Juice at the Kona Coast Shopping Center practically every day of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. It was a quick breakfast stop and refreshing cool-down in the hot Hawaiian sun. Let’s face it, Kona isn’t really a foodie kinda place, and restaurants that were highly rated, like the disastrous [...]
Bean Brothers Cafe & Bistro Review
on January 27, 2012 in Breakfast, Brunch, Cafe, Coffee Shops, European, Kerrisdale
We were driving back to Kits from Richmond after attending media events for Saboten and H-Mart’s grand openings in Aberdeen Centre and wanted a quick bite to eat for lunch. We hit Kerrisdale and remembered that we had been meaning to check out Bean Brothers since we’d heard good things about the cafe. Nestled in [...]
Unique McDonald’s Menu Items In Hawaii
on January 26, 2012 in Breakfast, Coffee Shops
We got up extra early one morning during our trip to the Big Island to drive out to Honaunau to (attempt to) swim with the dolphins. Nothing was open at the crack of dawn for breakfast except for the 24-hour McDonald’s in Kealakekua. Eating McDonald’s in Hawaii when we could be eating Loco Moco or Hawaiian [...]
Island Lava Java Review (Kona, Hawaii)
on January 19, 2012 in Breakfast, Brunch
Island Lava Java Bistro & Grill is situated right in the heart of the very tourist-centric Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawaii. We dined at Island Lava Java for breakfast because of the reviews we had read and the fact that it’s situated right on the ocean. Unfortunately, this was a mistake. There [...]
Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe Review
on January 17, 2012 in Breakfast, Brunch, Cambie Street
The Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe is a pannekoek house located on Cambie Street (near West 17th) offering tasty breakfast and lunch dishes. The restaurant is similar in concept and menu items to the De Dutch Pannekoek House chain, but prices are less expensive at Dutch Wooden Shoe. Originating in the Netherlands, pannekoeks are a genuine Dutch [...]
Buns In The Sun Review (Kona, Hawaii)
on January 13, 2012 in Breakfast
Buns in the Sun has been a Big Island landmark for over 20 years with Kona’s best baked goods, including breads, cakes and pastries. They have become the “go-to” bakery and deli for breakfast and lunch for island residents and visitors alike. Casual and laid back, Buns in the Sun is located in Lanihau Center, [...]
The Coffee Shack Review (Captain Cook, Hawaii)
on January 12, 2012 in Breakfast, Brunch, Cafe
From all the reviews on Yelp and Urbanspoon, The Coffee Shack sounded a lot like our beloved Kalaheo Coffee Co. on Kauai. So the first morning of our 10-day stay on the Big Island of Hawaii, we hopped in our rental car and drove from Kailua-Kona to Captain Cook to check out this restaurant for breakfast. [...]
Solly’s Bagelry Kitsilano Review
on January 5, 2012 in Breakfast, Cafe, Kitsilano, Kosher
Solly’s is a Jewish family Bakery and Deli, offering a variety of traditional baked goods and deli items, served in a warm homey atmosphere with neighbourly service. With three locations around Vancouver, this Kitsilano bakery/deli on West Broadway near MacDonald is the second shop we visited. See our review of Solly’s Mt. Pleasant location here. [...]
